The article recently published on the blog addresses the issue of security in Goma, in the province of North Kivu. The Provincial Security Committee took the decision to prohibit the circulation of motorcycles beyond 6 p.m., with the aim of combating acts of crime perpetrated by armed bandits operating on motorcycles.
This measure aims to protect the population, particularly currency traders who are often the targets of these criminal groups. The military governor’s spokesperson said police stations will be opened and called on the population to cooperate with law enforcement.
The decision to ban the circulation of motorcycles after 6 p.m. is essential to ensure the safety of the inhabitants of Goma. In recent times, many civilians have been killed or injured by armed bandits, creating an atmosphere of insecurity in the city.
It is important to emphasize that this measure is not intended to penalize motorcycle drivers, but to protect the population by limiting the opportunities for criminals to commit reprehensible acts. Alongside this ban, it is expected that the decree of the governor of North Kivu will soon be published in order to formalize these measures.
The participation of basic executives from the 18 districts of Goma in this meeting demonstrates the importance given to security in the city. This decision also demonstrates the authorities’ desire to fight against insecurity and guarantee the protection of citizens.
The ban on motorcycle traffic after 6 p.m. is a preventive measure which should help reduce the risk of crime and restore a sense of security for the inhabitants of Goma.
The actions undertaken by the North Kivu Provincial Security Committee are an important step towards the pacification of the region and the protection of citizens. Hopefully these measures will have a positive impact on the security of Goma and allow residents to live in peace.
